Movie description:
»A question of honour« could be a fitting subtitle for Ilmar Raag’s heart- and brain-rending portrait of an Estonian school class, where bullying has turned into bitter and uncompromising horror. Joosep is the class’s notorious victim. Not one day or hour passes that he isn’t thrown naked into the girls’ changing room or beaten to pulp in the school yard. When Kaspar, one of the class’s popular boys, one day defends Joosep, all hell breaks loose. Despite all the best intentions, Kaspar’s attempts to help Joosep are used as further ammunition to bully the poor lad, who ends up taking the last possible way out. »The Class« is so horrendous that one wishes it was pure fiction. But unfortunately, it isn’t.
Kaspar and the class pushover Joosep are 16 and life in high school isn’t easy. Without meaning to, Kaspar defends Joosep against the bullying of his classmates, but every time Kaspar tries to him, it backfires, with the class taking it out on Joosep. Kaspar just wants his friends, his girl and his unassuming life back. Joosep wants to regain his dignity and the chance to switch to a high school far away. But their classmates are relentless, going further and further with each incident.
